A year after attempting just 35 passes and throwing for 225 yards and two touchdowns as a redshirt-freshman, Robert Morris’ George Martin emerged as a significant contributor under center this fall.
The Ringgold graduate played in 11 games for the Colonials this season, completing 102 of 196 passes (52%) for 1,348 yards. He threw for 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions, while helping to lead RMU (7-5, 6-1) to its first winning season since 2010.
